Book The Physics of Stocks and Flows of Energy Systems

Download or read book The Physics of Stocks and Flows of Energy Systems written by Hassan Qudrat-Ullah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a system dynamics approach, this book illustrates the physics of fundamental accumulation processes (stocks and flows) across the demand and supply sectors of energy systems. Examples of system dynamics simulation models are presented where these accumulation processes are driving the behavior of the system. Based on these modeling efforts, two cases (the socio-economic and environmental implications of the energy policy of Pakistan and the dynamics of green power in Ontario, Canada) are analyzed and discussed. By studying the dynamics of the fundamental structures of an energy system, the reader gains an enhanced understanding of the stocks and flows of complex systems as well as their role in energy policy. This book is of use to managers and practitioners, teachers, researchers, and students of design and assessment of policy making for complex, dynamic energy systems.

Book Dynamic Demand Modeling  Energy Management  and Investment Strategies in Uncertain Energy Markets

Download or read book Dynamic Demand Modeling Energy Management and Investment Strategies in Uncertain Energy Markets written by Farbod Farzan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is focused on development of an integrated decision making support framework to assist with the design of a sustainable community that has access to secure clean energy and utilizes innovative technologies and strategies. Innovative technologies include but not limited to renewable generation/storage resources, Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV), Building Monitoring Systems (BMS), Programmable Communication Devices (PCD), and etc. This framework has 3 unique components: i. energy dynamic demand modeling, ii. investment strategies for Distributed Energy Resources (DER), and iii. demand side energy management in uncertain markets. In the existing litrature and industry practices, energy load profile is considered as an input to a decision making support tools and its dynamics is ignored which can lead to unreliable and less cost effective investment decisions in the long run. The analysis of such dynamics is not possible with existing demand forecast models, which are built based on time series forecasts relying on historical data. Therefore, in this thesis a bottom-up demand forecasting model entitled High Resolution Adaptive Model (Hi-RAM) is integrated with DER investment model. Hi-RAM provides compelling results concerning the potential load shifting of PEVs, as well as how advanced energy management systems enable response to Electric Distribution Companies (EDC) price signals. Hi-RAM is a bottom-up stochastic demand model consisting of: 1- Markovian stochastic process for simulating human activities, and buildings occupany profiles. 2- Probabilistic Bayesian and Logistic technology adoption models and 3- Optimization and rule-based energy management models for building end-uses e.g., Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Lighting, and PEV charging which enable them to respond to EDC price signals without compromising users' comfort. The DER investment model is built as a non-linear stochastic mixed integer programming to maximize the cash flow over the planning horizon considering long-term market variations, short-term operational volatilities, and the dynamics of underlying demand. Integration of Hi-RAM and the DER investment model offers a novel analytical framework which can be used at the design stage of new products to assess their effectiveness. Such a framework can also assist decision makers to investigate investment strategies on community's DER e.g., PV solar, wind turbines, electric storages, and etc. taking into account the specifics of building behavioral and physical characteristics as well as the emergence of new end-uses and Demand-Side Management (DSM) capabilities. While developing this tool is an essential step towards sustainable and efficient energy solutions in the planning stage of new buildings and communities, attention must also be paid to the existing building stock where the U.S. buildings sector alone accounted for 7% of global primary energy consumption. Recognizing its importance, this thesis also investigates advanced energy magement and control policies for buildings within a constrained peak demand envelope while ensuring that custom climate conditions are facilitated. This will mitigate service disruption and high cost of energy production and distribution.

Book Energy Demand  Facts and Trends

Download or read book Energy Demand Facts and Trends written by B. Chateau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fIrst oil crisis of 1973-74 and the questions it raised in the economic and social fIelds drew attention to energy issues. Industrial societies, accustomed for two decades or more to energy sufficiently easy to produce and cheap to consume that it was thought to be inexhaustible, began to question their energy future. The studies undertaken at that time, and since, on a national, regional, or world level were over-optimistic. The problem seemed simple enough to solve. On the one hand, a certain number of resources: coal, the abundance of which was discovered, or rather rediscovered oil, source of all the problems ... In fact, the problems seemed to come, if not from oil itself (an easy explanation), then from those who produced it without really owning it, and from those who owned it without really control ling it natural gas, second only to oil and less compromised uranium, all of whose promises had not been kept, but whose resources were not in question solar energy, multiform and really inexhaustible thermonuclear fusion, and geothermal energy, etc. On the other hand, energy consumption, though excessive perhaps, was symbolic of progress, development, and increased well being. The originality of the energy policies set up since 1974 lies in the fact they no longer aimed to produce (or import) more, but to consume less. They sought, and still seek, what might be emphatically called the control of energy consump tion, or rather the control of energy demand.

Book Handbook Of Energy Finance  Theories  Practices And Simulations

Download or read book Handbook Of Energy Finance Theories Practices And Simulations written by Stephane Goutte and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling the dynamics of energy markets has become a challenging task. The intensification of their financialization since 2004 had made them more complex but also more integrated with other tradable asset classes. More importantly, their large and frequent fluctuations in terms of both prices and volatility, particularly in the aftermath of the global financial crisis 2008-2009, posit difficulties for modeling and forecasting energy price behavior and are primary sources of concerns for macroeconomic stability and general economic performance.This handbook aims to advance the debate on the theories and practices of quantitative energy finance while shedding light on innovative results and technical methods applied to energy markets. Its primary focus is on the recent development and applications of mathematical and quantitative approaches for a better understanding of the stochastic processes that drive energy market movements. The handbook is designed for not only graduate students and researchers but also practitioners and policymakers.

Book Infrastructures in Practice

Download or read book Infrastructures in Practice written by Elizabeth Shove and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructures in Practice shows how infrastructures and daily life shape each other. Power grids, roads and broadband make modern lifestyles possible – at the same time, their design and day-to-day operation depends on what people do at home and at work. This volume investigates the entanglement of supply and demand. It explains how standards and 'normal' ways of living have changed over time and how infrastructures have changed with them. Studies of grid expansion and disruption, heating systems, the internet, urban planning and office standards, smart meters and demand management reveal this dynamic interdependence. This is the first book to examine the interdependence between infrastructures and the practices of daily life. It offers an analysis of how new technologies, lifestyles and standards become normalised and fall out of use. It brings together diverse disciplines – history, sociology, science studies – to develop social theories and accounts of how infrastructures and practices constitute each other at different scales and over time. It shows how networks and demands are steered and shaped, and how social and political visions are woven into infrastructures, past, present and future. Original, wide-ranging and theoretically informed, this book puts the many practices of daily life back into the study of infrastructures. The result is a fresh understanding of how resource-intensive forms of consumption and energy demand have come about and what is needed to move towards a more sustainable lower carbon future.
